The Most Expensive Item in Runescape History is Out of Control!
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 08. 2024
- The runescape party hat is by far the games most famous item. The item was obtainable only from the 2001 christmas event, and since then has become discontinued. While this has obviously led them to being rare and expensive, there may be something else causing their price ro rapidly rise.
Throughout the last 20 years party hats have gone from millions, to being worth max cash, to being worth 100's of billions of GP. Today I wanted to document the price changes over time and talk about the major events affecting the price.
Thanks for watching

Bitcoin has no chance against the blue phat
I had a blue phat in 2013… watching these videos is almost unbearable since mine was taken from a R.A.T.
In osrs these hats worth few k... Wtf
@@SuperKREPSINIS that's cause they've come out every single Christmas since OSRS came out...these phats in the vid came out 20 years ago never to be released agaib
Had a red party hat in 06 worth 42mill. Got hacked off a database swipe and ended up merching later. Only ever got back up to a red mask by the time they hit 70m then rode them to 200m before holding forever.
@@PerforatedPaperboy same thing happened to me , I was buying gold on fishy websites and was botting too lol 😂
I remember selling a purple party hat for 70M ish thinking I was a boss as I bought it for 65. Big L now
I was a runescape noob by 2012, playing in brazilian worlds, so I hopped on living rocks worlds to ask assistance for opening some effigies and a dude that helped me insisted on renting me a white party hat. I did wear it for an hour or so and only couple years later realized it was a valuable item that most people don't ever have the opportunity to wear.
Coulda logged out and sold it for a car
@@crazykhespar8487 I coudn't. He lended, didn't actually trade it. I don't know if there is still this feature in OSRS nor the assistance one.
@@ernestofernandesviana9890 nope
im brazlian too, come back playing osrs! btw there is no lending feature in osrs.@@ernestofernandesviana9890
I think FlippingOldschool should make a vid on the noted trouble brewing items in OSRS, they're not obtainable since July 2020, because even though you're still able to smuggle and trade trouble brewing items, you can't bank them (hence, note them) anymore. The people who have one pretty much can't ever drop it or bank it, although it's a tradable discontinued item. I've actually never seen one in game although they definitely exist
LMFAO stop trying to get people to promote.your shitty bugged discontinued item in hopes to cash in
I have 4 trouble brewing monkeys in my bank, issue is I'm an ironman haha.
@@scottyisnumber9 are the monkeys tradable?
I was actually wondering the same thing (iron problems haha)
@@loiloiloi6 According to the wiki, no.
It's always been worth the same actually - the in-game prices go based on RS3 gold sale prices which are currently @ around .03 cents / mil. A blue partyhat cost around 5K USD a few years ago and it still costs around 5K. Gold has inflated in-game and devalued on the USD which is what controls the price especially considering the group that controls the supply on phats.
No actually it hasn't always been the same, you're full of shit.
10 years ago you could buy a Blue for a couple hundred dollars.
How is that "always the same"?
Gold is .43/million
@@ruelharris7253 on osrs
And to think, I have an account I no longer have access to with 3 to 8 of each phat, 10 + half wines and a few disks. Unfortunate ban in 2005 caused me to quit and since then I completely forgot the password and name (in hindsight those stupid names of I11II1I1 didnt pay off)
@Ash M do you still have the harddrives? If so you can get the passwords back
There was a time during when free trade was disabled that party hats were considered junk items.
People were "Selling partyhats, taking junk items!"
Which included at the time, blessed spirit shields, maple longbows (u) and the like.
I find that to be an interesting point in RS history which most people aren't aware of.
party hats were definitely not junk items when free trade was disabled, unless that happened twice but that happened years after they came out. I mean maybe not bills, but a couple mill for sure.
@@BigHemiNJ i think he means that people would sell the party hats but you had to also buy billions worth of junk items with the party hat .. because you couldn’t pay over the g.e price so players had to add expensive junk items such as burnt fish ashes etc.. in order to get the true value of the party hats out of a trade
i remember when free trade was disabled, wasn't this like 07 - 08? God damn I feel old
@@jwizzosmizzoAt the time free trade was removed, partyhats weren‘t even close to being that expensive. The mist expensive item at the time was a christmas cracker worth around 700mil.
They added a cap of like 30k difference from the g.e. price which was nowhere near the actual price of the items because no one sold them on the ge. They added junk to bring it up to the actual value that it was to be sold for. Needles were a popular currency as well since they stack and are 1gp each
And the funny thing is it was duped pretty heavily way back in the day before someone sold it out for free lifetime membership. The only ones that were eliminated were the ones on the banned account so I imagine the numbers greatly increased because of duping.
Can you imagine how expensive this would be if it never was duped?
Enough for a house
@@crazykhespar8487 lol true dat
Jagex claimed that there were less hats after the dupe, so it may have been worth less if it wasn't duped
I'll never forget that event. People where dropping them and leaving them all over the ground. I'm glad I was old enough to experience it. Also, I miss being able to duel anywhere in the game, and the time before runite.
Dueling anywhere was so convient back then. Quick way to lumby
@@MatthewBaran I was just 13 at the time. I was scared to duel people. But looking back at it was cool.
@@shauksgamer814 I think I was around the same age. Fuzzy memory on certain events, but I remember before there was even fatigue in classic.
@@MatthewBaran how about not having bank notes and having to trade inventory by inventory. Then they added certs haha.
@@shauksgamer814 it was so slow! Lmao
Ah yes, thank you for reminding me what my red phat would be worth if I hadn’t given it away in 2008 😂
They were pretty insanely expensive already back then. Why'd you give it away?
@@tomerik112 I was wanting to quit and thought giving all my stuff away to friends would do it. I have “quit” like 5-6 times 😂
Honestly that’s a flex, imagine how happy they were ? Essentially changed someone’s life
That hurts, partyhats are so expensive. I had a Green H'Ween mask and a Christmas hat, but I stopped playing Runescape for a few years. Came back and saw my account was banned for botting, so it must have gotten stolen somehow. Tried to appeal but to no avail. They were definitely gone anyways. I think this was about 2007 I stopped playing, and tried again in 2010 or 2011.
A shame.
I had a blue when they were over max cash and mine was stolen so don’t feel bad. I also had a white before I upgraded it to a blue
If they raise the max cash limit, shit is going to get interesting. As a former player of RuneScape, I love these videos. Keeps me up to date on the game, without having to slave away at it. My biggest regret is not buying a phat set back in 07 when I had the chance. The account I would have bought it on is still active today with a few eggs/pumpkins on it. I’ve kept them all this time and don’t think I’d ever be able to part with them. Seeing blue phats going for nearly 9k usd on black markets is insane to me.
actually you should sell them in the coming months because a money-crash in real life will cause a crash in videogames too.
And to think I sold my blue party hat back in 2008 for a couple million 😅
Yeah my dumbass sold my green h’ween mask back in 2008 I believe.
@@zzzarkka I had the cash to buy a full party hat set and couldn’t talk myself into it. Could be sitting on 20-30k usd lmao
If they raise the max cash then flipping might become profitable again.
I sold my white party hat in early 2000s 02/03 ish ? ..for $1000 cash real $ to a friend...i consider it to be the first NFT transaction ..& my claim to fame for runescape & my highschool community
I don't know man but if you already had Windows XP in 2001 your parents were on top of their operating system game. It came out in October that year.
I think rares should be exempt from a ge tax. taxing them just encourages street trading and price manip
You already can’t trade rares on the GE. You can only get max cash so you’d lose out on like 95% of the hat’s value
it's likely that they'll have a 1% or x mill gp, whatever is lower. doesn't make sense to tax 1b on a rare because, yeah, as you said, nobody will trade them unless they make them ge only. so having a cap of say 20m for tax would mean anything above 2b would never get taxed more once the cap is lifted.
regular runescape doesn't have ge tax
yea would love if I didnt have to sell items that I got for 10m+ less, but I feel if they dont change anything about rares they will never be sold on ge. Probably biggest reason to add limit are new t95 items and dyes
i see that both gabe and clown didn't watch the entire video because both of those points are addressed in it lol
Here I was thinking my 15 boxes of party hats was worth a pretty penny lol
Why are people getting confused... the title says RUNESCAPE not OSRS.. these prices are rs3 (or just runescape).
I can give you a price scale straight from 2001 the day of the drop lol, Actually for the majority of Christmas day people were just swapping hats for the colors they wanted, they were all considered pretty much the same value and just a fun item.. Everybody had one on. These bad boys were going for 2k-10k a pop beside the Varrock bank quickly for at least a couple days to a week after they dropped. They quickly increased to 15k-55k within 3-6 weeks. I kept buying and selling them as they went up and stopped caring after a little while to continue the game, so much regret lmao but I really wanted a rune 2 hander at the time and they were worth about 450-500k If I remember right. the earliest holiday item I was left with was the bunny ears or scythe which is when they began being untradable.
cool thanks for sharing
Love these types of videos. I appreciate the work you do, and I hope you're doing well.
In the end the only people with phats are gonna be the hackers.
I’m 30 years old I remember the part I hats back in the 2000s being a big flex
Thank you for putting the prices by the year in to a great video. This would take a lot of digging on my end to find the price history but i've always wondered.
I guess you never saw when A Friend hosted an event where everyone donated their rs3 rares to him and he donated them to a coffer ultimately removing them from the game. Skyrocketing their price even more!
i want to see a video on this!! @flippingoldschool
the real reason prices of those items is spiralling out of control is because people who trade at those values, completely forgot any and all meaning of in-game money and just started throwing out numbers.
I swear they just have a number generator decide the price at this point...
Not exactly. Gp has, for a very long time, had a real world monetary value. It’s against the rules but we can all look at a cash stack and agree on just how many dollars (Or other form of currency) that’s worth.
Some of the most iconic items in Runescape history were released decades ago now and were immediately discontinued. Considering how many people still play the game today, it’s not illogical to value these items at tens of thousands of real world dollars.
You don’t have to like it, but it does make sense.
@@mendelson6052 I was talking about in-game value...
When talking about 100s of B, I highly doubt you care about insta-buying new gear (e.g. Cryptbloom on release) as the on-release value pales in comparison to your wealth...
@@MrSimpsondennis I know. Because gp has an agreed upon, real world value, I’m saying that these aren’t just random gp values that are being set for these items. They actually make sense.
3-5 yrs ago the most you could make /hr was like 6-10m not including telos which has been 150m+/hr for top tier players. Now in 2022 the average joe can easily make upwards of 50+m/hr in rs3 the money has to go somewhere and when you have bis everything what else do you spend the money on other than rares so it makes sense the price
@@FluidityFPV flipping was always the best gp/hr until a few years ago. Now there's no good margins
Sadly, I passed on buying a blue party hat in 2004 or 2005. Would have been a very rich character by the time EoC came out.
There was a point in time, after the removal of free trade and when the g.e had price limits that it was very difficult to sell your party hat and they had actually crashed. You had to sell them in a deal with 3rd age or swap them for cash and heaps of "junk" items to balance out the trade limit that maxed out at 30 to 60k. I had difficulty selling my hats because i had no 3a.
The depressing part is before eoc, i had 4 phat sets. ended up losing them staking prior to EOC but at the time I think the full set was like 8-9b lol. wish i keptem.
Ahh, Christmas of 2022. What a time to be alive
Love your videos ❤️
Prices are spot on.. Sold my Yellow in 2021 for 35B.. My green for 40B closer to end of the year.
Have to say, dumbest thing I've ever done. Watching prices go ballistic after selling had me kicking myself pretty bad. They took out staking though, therefore gambling with rares like this (which is what most of us did) didn't happen anymore in the game.
I staked for my yellow. I staked for my green. I staked for my rsh stack as well.
This is so nostalgic for me. I started playing Runescape in 2003, and i camped W2 Falador trading partyhats in 9 years. i made a fortune on flipping these. In 2011 i runned maybe the richest private merchanting clan. We started buying out Christmas crackers, and a friend of me named Md3w got 27 christmas crackers, and had so many % of the total crackers which was left in the game. He got perm banned for RWT just a couple months later. i didn't know before now about these prices. i still have my blue partyhat and a green partyhat in RS3 which i have never sold. but when i see these prices i get temped to sell :P
What’s out of hand is inflation of the gold piece, not the party hat. A party hat has always been ~$1000’s of IRL exchange rate.
No it has not..
They were overvalued in GE back in 2009 (I think)
You’d buy dragon claws (underpriced) with a phat) overpriced
Also I lost a purple phat in PVP worlds back then 😂 I cry evertiem I see price now
@@ixyzyxi idk what you’re talking about buying d claws with a phat lol that certainly never happened. GP buy/sell sites have changed their rates with RS3 inflation and phats have always been roughly $500-1500 USD if one chooses to go that route. Maybe even more
You’ve heard it once,
You’ve heard it a million times.
The history never gets old🤙
The usage of "out of control" is comical when you learn that they are traded amongst the same small group of people. The only reason why the prices kept skyrocketing post-EOC update is due to price manipulation. Hardly out of control when like 100 people in the entire game control the trades occurring.
Sounds too much like real life
No it's because gold value got ruined in runescape there is just tomuch currently with events and dupes
@@SenseiGohan based
@@appie7071 supply versus demand and price manipulation actually affect prices of phats. RS3 has more than enough gold sinks in game.
Am i thinking of the correct item? Just bought one Blue partyhat for 10k off GE.
I remember in 2002-2004 farming KQ for d chains.. ended up with quite a few of them and traded them all for a yellow phat. Which then was valued at like 75m or so.. sold it months later unfortunately :(
This was a time when you'd just see Zezima walking around world 2 at varrock, there were very few level 126's, and very few bosses for pvm. Those were the good days. I dont even think barrows existed yet.
Kq kbd and elvarg🤣 that was pretty much it.
God i miss these days.
too obviously fake
@@InstancesKMS some of us grew up man. I had a partyhat at 9 years old that would probably pay our student debts today.. sorry to upset you over pixels, i guess??? Easy come easy go.
Werent d chains 20m?
Lost a purple due to a perm ban about 10 years ago. Bought it for like 960m
Very interesting stuff
Also I really hope they make the max cash stack bigger. Would really help alot with GE and buying extremely expensive items
honestly it should have been done by now considering the only reason 2.14bil is max cash stack is due to the old java script and that was as high as java went
jagex has confirmed that the grand exchange will be able to sell and buy items over 4trillion soon
@@DarthChosen That is really good!
@@saceurai1729 well... Better late than never I quess
Technically no, the max cash stack will still be 2.1b HOWEVER. The loop hole is that you can hold 2.1b 2.1billion times. So while they can’t change the max cash stack and number of things. They can make that number stack many times over.
oof the overlay edit at 6:05-6:20 I FEEL THAT
Would love to see a video on the Golden Partyhat.
I think it's pretty interesting to witness it's very extensive price fluctuations!
Yeah but theres millions of them in rs3 who knows i got 12 myself same with green santa i got 5 will take years for them to be max cash stack
@@viciousgaming1413 There aren't millions of them... A high estimate would be 100K max.
Also, if nobody sells them, then the price will skyrocket by itself ;)
@@thorakvideos2495 lol yeah my bad not millions they were release november last year soo lets see how long it takes to max cash stack.
@@viciousgaming1413 def not millions of them considering only 1 could be made per account and roughly say 200k people play and alot didnt even make it and people will quit with them etc they will eventually go up say in 5-6 years but they will
@@viciousgaming1413 i mean i have 3 black santa hats from 2012 and everyone hoarded those also and look at them now they are over max cash also
I bought a blue partyhat when it was worth about 2m
Your late. With 2147m removal the prices crashed bphat 120-170b. Cleary shows it was massively manipulated since the max amount in currency (shards) was 58 or 68B
And with GE allowing transactions above 2147m in value being simply announced caused a massive crash in discontinued item value and even max gear street value to an extent.
Hard to manipulate when max cash is now effectively in the Quintillions now. (It'd take literal eons at the best gp/hr to reach the new max cash)
Clarification: the glitch didn't 'duplicate' items; you were actually just able to just spawn any item you want with a cheat tool.
Nope, you used the tool when trading players then instead of adding 1x of a noted item you added 0x and it duped the original item that was noted
@@borderlands3620 Hey man first off huge fan of your games, you're close. The tool in the trade screen let you change the item ID of any noted item to any other noted item.
I still have a phat set on RS3 kept it since i bought it in 2005😁
At 1:57ish you said Christmas of 2022 wasn’t it suppose to be 2002
It genuinely baffles me to think there's probably someone, or at least an account, or a few accounts out there that may have just a couple dozen or couple hundred of each hat, or the blue one just sitting there collecting dust. Just imagine if you have like 30 of them just sitting in your bank, you could sell them and probably pay for a new house.
I have 44 of each party hat blue one only showing 8k in g.e tho so idk
@@ificandoitwhycantyou5543 OSRS is different from the original RS that is now Runescape 3
@@ificandoitwhycantyou5543 Partyhats in OSRS are worthless because they hand them out at every event. Partyhats in RS3 are bonkers though
It's been a while since I logged into my account, but yea I think about them sometimes. Back in the prime of FlipChat1 I just spent literal days at the g,e. After the margins slumped I finally maxed my cb (was always my goal) then basically just quit. It was kinda sad the last day I played just looking at an empty guild, an empty friend's list and bank tabs full of memories. Most of the other people I knew that collected, I hate the word hoarding, quit even before I did. I can't speak for others, but those tabs will die with my account.
When I first started playing in 2007 2008 I remember Santa hats were 8m and blue was worth roughly 35m

3:56 These prices are so innacurate, they were much lower. I bought a purple phat in GE around 2010 for only 97 Million.
Back in 2004-2006 almost no one had 100M in their bank.
My cousin and one of his roommates were part of a group who would buy as many phats as possible on multiple accounts and would essentially manipulate the market to the point where they could almost name their price and people were paying out, he said on a good day between him and his roommate they could sell 10-12 phats and have rent plus bills and groceries for a couple months, he’d just transfer the rest of the hats to an alt account and sell the gold online, he said back then it was just above $500 for a blue or purple and ofc when he sold the gold within a few minutes jagex would ban the account so he always had plenty of alts to transfer hats to
Could that price drop be around christmas time?
People were shitting themselves over the new Gold Partyhat.
I freaked when I saw one in OSRS thinking it was still as rare
???? Uh have you checked the ge prices on those lately? 😅
This may sound insane, I'm a software engineer not an economist but hear me out. What if one of the reasons for such a drastic decrease in the price of RS3 rares is related to crashes in other "collectible"/speculative store of value assets like trading cards, cryptocurrency, etc?
Most of these markets have been hit pretty hard over the past year or so to my knowledge. People RWT for billions of GP to buy up partyhats and such knowing the price is likely to only increase going forward, and then IRL market conditions force people to liquidate for more stable options causing the prices of these speculative assets to crash pretty hard. With the prevalence of RWT and how sophisticated OSRS RWTers have gotten, it makes a lot of sense to me. There's no way rares aren't being used as proxies for IRL cash
Partyhats are worthless in OSRS
@@fica1137 im not talking about osrs gold, just using the sophistication of those black markets to imply RS3 would be the same
Small editing error @ 6 min mark, you showed 2021 prices when talking ab 2019 !!
5:40 noticed some corrupt forum mods relating to this. Not sure if that's ever been covered.
Now imagine Jamflex makes the partyhats like they do in OSRS KEKW
Ghjjf in DI the RuneScape clan walked in a war with his clan wearing a white phat never understanding the value it would hold one day…
Man you had me so excited thinking some miracle had happend and my Phats were worth money again for that first bit. I curse to always get tele blocked in the wilderness for this crime
me too, "ohh, i bought a yellow party hat for 10k last year, lets get max cash for it and solve my bond problems forever", nah,.its just rs3...
The fact that it still excist the orginal crackers, survived 20 years without being opened facinates me
the amount in circulation is probably very low, there were really rich players (especially gambling hosts advertising their service on youtube) who pulled these crackers or even fed them to their baby troll to show how wealthy they were and to show they could pay up winning bets.
Most of the time crackers are worth more than the average hat, so why pull it? It's probably worth more as a cracker
@@ClikcerProductions as i said, to flex how wealthy you are.
@@ClikcerProductions Also you can wield partyhats...
@@piratboss If you just wanted to wear a Phat why pull the cracker when you could just sell it and buy a phat with bills left over? No one is gonna pull them other than to say "ha ha look I just threw billions down the drain"

"Should we bring back the Chirstmas Crackers and PHats this year?"
"No, the idea is having those items shows how long you've been around, and they're souvenirs from an event that will never be experienced again."
"Oh. So we should make them untradeable?"
"lolno."
all jagex would need to do is increase the GE from a 32 bit integer limit to a 64 bit integer limit and litterally nothing would ever go over that=
bruh i started playing again in 2020 and sold all my partyhats on the GE for 5k..
Hahahahah atleast you didn't invest millions into a hat that devalued so much
I remember selling a green party hat over a decade ago for $850 to help me pay for college (which was economics, inspired by runescape). No regrets.
During the early days of 07scape I rushed 85 slayer and swapped gold to RS3 to buy another phat. Also no regrets on that.
A 1% tax you say? RS3 yoinking ideas from 07 for once. Honestly, I think the tax was overall a good thing (a structural item sink).
RS3 actually has a fairly decent item sink via invention it just needs to get some damn gold out.
@@sheepys551 Ooo... that's true, I forgot about that. 07 could really use something like that to eat up all the worthless clue rewards.

Awesome vid man...can we have hween masks too?
I have a blue and green phat I think someone dropped them as a give away easily 10 years ago. I had no idea how much hey were worth.
Some guy fed his baby troll a blue phat 9 years ago thinking it was only 2b and wouldn't raise.... R.I.P.
Dude I’ll never forget I had a red when it first dropped. I sold for a rune long sword and I lost my blue staking with my R2h. I had about 40 Santa hats, mask sets etc. but I got banned cuz I was stupid and bought gp when I was 16.
So instead of duplicating christmas crackers why duplicate purple partyhats which were worth less?
I'm confused, I have a bunch of party hats in my bank and they are worthless?
Yeah my say they are like 3k
Right, I was dropping mine like a few months ago lol
This is for rs3 not osrs
@@markjones9479 oooohhhhhhhhhhh that makes so much sense. I don't play rs3
the reason the blue phat started crashing is because jagex is making a solution so you can buy items on the ge for over max cash, so price manipulators are panicking
Hey Flipping. An interesting video idea could be “what would happen to the market if all items were tradable”
Like what would happen if Void was just buyable on the GE, etc.
You would just have bots running the easier minigames and Inferno proficient people become wealthiest people overnight. Although it would be very interesting to see how the inferno cape prices would stack up, since you can do an inferno well under 2 hours, at best current gp makers it'd put it around 25-30m, which is significantly less than what people ask for to do it on your account, which is north of 300m. I reckon the other now-untradeables would hover around a few mil, depending on difficulty of getting them.
@@CrapImGud I’d be interested to see what kind of effect it’d have on the pvm market, if any. Things like Graceful would surely be multiple mil haha
I logged into an account that I haven't played since 2018 to discover that I have 2500 dollars work of masks, I'm just missing the purple mask to complete the set.
It's always interesting to see although once the game shuts down, all the history/prices will be worth nothing at all.

3rd age items in future can take that place actually(especially those items you can only get from master clue)
Gresham's law remains undefeated.
I bought a black santa hat at 30b just before all the phats doubled. It went to 60b but i kept it and once the suity bot price checker went down thats when the prices of the phats halved in a month. Bsh is now 28b and dropping cus of the max cash update coming L0l. I really wanted a yellow at that time which was about 50b so i was pretty pissed when it doubled. Gonna keep bsh and pray everything settles after the update wish me luck fellow investors hah.
Fun fact in old school runescape all party hats are cheap the blue phat costs 10k
And i got a red phat for 5k
I kinda want someone to make a crypto that is called Party Hat, that is not a pump and dump
christmas of 2002*

I ran a massive flower FC in 2011. I had every rare you could imagine and a bank worth about 15-20b. When EOC came out I quit and sold everything for around $5000. I thought I was a genius. Seeing the prices my phat set and cracker could have netted me today is seriously depressing.
Sit tf down.
Well seeing a mil nowadays is only worth like 3 cents, you would've sold that for $600 and we're in inflation period. Be glad.
@@leekyonion a blue phat alone would be $4500 (150.000 * $0.03)
Do an rs3 series from level 3 to blue phat
I’m still using that top of the line rig(circa 1997). Worth it.

I got a funny and pathetic story. In 2012 I spent a lot of hours grinding money in Runescape and after like 5 months I finally achieved my dream, which was to get a yellow party hat. I used to trade it to my lvl 20 noob account to enjoy wearing in on there at times, and I would successfully trade it back and forth between accounts. My memory is kinda hazy now, but there was some kind of trade restriction that appeared suddenly (I think) and I tried to find workarounds and got away with killing my alts in clan wars on dangerous mode to transfer some items along with the hat. But then one day when I went to transfer the yellow party hat that way again, it fully disappeared. And I was in complete shock and just kinda logged out and went outside. I think they were around 1.4bil at the time. So yeah, I'm responsible for making 1 yellow party hat disappear from the game forever, lol
The 300b thing is cuz someone hacked (however you word it) the discord price checker for rs3 and changed the prices there, thats why those p hats went that high for a moment.
I don't understand I thought they started giving our party hats all the time and they're worthless now? They gave them out during a Christmas event like last year didnt they and bots were set up to do the event?
Blue partyhats are gonna be legendary one day in the metaverse
Rwt bans seem to be coming in hot, taking the extreme rares with them.
I dont remember exactly the time period but remember buying purple for 60m. Friend said don't be stupid it will crash and i sold it the next day lol
crazy to think that that jmod said he wants to do something about party hat prices. you know there going to crash them 💀
Christmas of 2022? You meant 2002 right?
Damn I had a blue, green, yellow and purple back 2012. Good times
Should have bought the party hat dip
such a good time. wouldn't trade it for anything man.
Actuly the last Christmas event gave 2 of each hats crackers and other things. It's now worthless
Phats were honestly the first nfts
